p.s. Here's a bunch of past mod explanations about this, if anyone wants to understand why we have this rule:

> "rules for job seekers, Carte blanche for companies"
Sums it up nicely.
When I look at the top text, I see at least 2 rules that apply to companies.
Edit: Btw, please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
Edit 2: sorry, I was totally wrong about that! see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45106871
How are companies allowed to post the same posting for the same roles month after month? If they are not able to find great candidate fits in this environment, and their employee counts are not moving on LinkedIn / crunchbase etc for months, can they get blacklisted from using this? I have seen several of these companies post again today
We agree that companies should reply to applicants, but please don't break the rules at the top of Who Is Hiring threads.
